Well Merry Christmas everybody!
I finally have a decent broadband connection, and i've managed to fix the email problems (touch wood).
I have the aussie tracks cranking on the laptop, (currently Paul Kelly "every f%#&ing city" - how cliched i know... it's on random i swear!)
I finished work late - since when do i ever do overtime!!!?!?
i have my christmas tree lit up... 
I just figured out how to shrink these. No, i'm not sitting in the dark, but the tree looks better in the dark when you can't see the bald patches.
It snowed or probably just frosted over last night. this morning everything was really beautiful covered in the frost. tried to get some shots on the broken camera, not sure if it worked. spider webs look wicked covered in frost.
this is from staines bridge looking at the swan hotel. where everyone from work has beers, when they're not at the town hall, or baroosh. it's foggy here at the mo.
This one is just accross the road from work, and i am enjoying having my dockers scarf. You can see my face says "i'm happy, but it's definitely cold".
I have to do some washing but I miss Daz...
had the JPK xmas party on the 9th. here are some pics:
Does anyone look at this and not think "i really ought to slide down that handrail"?
I've found the shots from my flat looking at the river:
I caught up with Khangster and his girlfriend the other day. a couple of beers in London somewhere...
The poms are crazy. I walked past a street called prospect place, and didn't think much of it. some pom clown decided he might find some gold...
On Thursday was the BP/JPK windup, at the town hall - naturally. So somehow i ended up crashing it (onshore isn't cool enough yet, but Francesca and I are working on the onshore credibility). It was quite a boozy affair. Many were late in the next day. but it didn't matter: the one building is linked to the other building's servers with a line of site connection, or "laser", and in the fog they can't get a signal. smrt. not like london's known for being foggy. someone must have ended up with a bunch of free SCADA gear or something...
Anyway, please meet some of my new friends:
Andy and James...
Excuse me lads!
"Do you think he saw us?"
And Evren ( i think he's mates with Mike Stock)...
A few weeks back I ventured into Horsmonden to see some rellies:
Bid, me and Nick (Bid's hubby).
Dom:
Me and Dom's wife Leith (an Aussie):
And it wouldn't be an aussie's website without some discussion on the ashes. everyone at work refuses to talk aboutit, so i gave them something subtle to think about...
Well i'm about done, it's 2am here. i guess i should start ringing aussies...
